  • “Retaining Spiritual Understanding”

    April 26 2020 week 3 and 4 CHOF Bible Fellowship 'sSunday Morning Church Matt 5 4
    Praise The Lord Everybody!!! God has blessed us to see another Sunday with you.

    Let us all remember to wash our hands and continue to stay in compliance with social distancing. ✝️❤️😊
     
    Beloved, Satan aspires to minimize or make Christians feel less sensitive to the wickedness of sin. He wants you to stop grieving or being sad over sin and start rejoicing when encountering Immorality. Just because you deem yourself a Christian doesn’t remove you from Satan’s ambitions. Many Christians once believed they were excluded because of their faith in Christ. They became a victim to his power because they lost focus. And let me warn you-it usually doesn’t occur all at once. The method can be gradual and imperceivable— almost unnoticeable. But the results are very tragic.
     
    First, you must always stay alert, looking for the possibilities of sin and on guard to defend yourself from negotiating. You have to be mindful of your sin. In Psalm 51:3, David said, “My sin is always before me.” In Isaiah 6:5, Isaiah cried out, “Woe is me! For I am ruined, Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.” In Luke 5:8, Peter said to Jesus, “Go away from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” In I, Timothy 1:15, Paul called himself the chief of sinners as you can see, each man shared a reciprocated recognition of their Immorality, and it led them to God for forgiveness and cleansing.
     
    Second, you “must” remember the importance of the cross. You see, if you permit a form of Immorality to create in your life, it will expand, which will cause you to forget the massive price Christ paid to exempt you from its repression.
     
    Third, comprehend the impact sin has on others. In Psalm 119:136, the psalmist said, “My eyes weep streams of water because people do not keep Your law.” In Matt. 23:37 Jesus grieved over Jerusalem, saying, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who murders the prophets and stones [to death] those [messengers] who are sent to her [by God]! How often I wanted to gather your children together [around Me], as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.” Your heart should hurt for those confined to Immorality.
     
    Beloved Immorality is a severe issue with God. He never has a twinkle in His eyes for Immorality nor takes it lightly.
     
    Lastly, reject anything that impedes your understanding about sin, things like intentionally sinning, denying God’s forgiveness, being arrogant, taking credit for God’s grace, or taking sin casually. These kinds of things will immediately dim your spiritual senses and give Satan the chance to lead you into a more significant infraction. ✝️❤️
     
    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing relief and joy to those who express grief over their Immorality. Father God, please guard my heart against anything that will weaken my compassion and understanding of the misery of Immorality. In Jesus’ Name, I Pray, Amen, and Aaamen. ✝️❤️
     
    To God Be The Glory. Have a Happy Sunday, Everyone.
    ✝️❤️😊

  • “God Looks at the Finishline”

    4 17 2020 Bishop Houston's Weekend Words 2 Timothy 4 7

    Every so often, when people make errors or have done something, they’re not proud of they get down on themselves and think, “If I had of…” “If only…”, “I should have…” “What if…?” Beloved, it’s easy to feel like you’ve squandered the best plan for your life. There were points in my life I would beat myself up with if the I had of… should of… would of syndrome. 

     

    When it comes to that point, that’s when people get dejected and quit their spiritual concept and stop following their God-given dreams.

    But I want you to understand today as a living witness, just because you’ve done something wrong or failed in some way, that doesn’t cancel God’s plan. God never disqualifies you – *PEOPLE WILL* but never God. He’ll never say, “Go sit on the sidelines, or I disqualify you because you’ve used drugs, alcohol, was a thief, was a prostitute, etc.… He’ll never say you’ve blown it too many times – *PEOPLE WILL* but never God. He’ll never say You’ve got too many weaknesses – *PEOPLE WILL* but never God.” No, God continually gives you another chance!!! VERY FEW PEOPLE WILL.

    Many great people in the Bible made poor choices. Look at The apostle Paul. He started as a murderer, yet his purpose in life was more superior than his mistakes. He ended up becoming a fantastic mentor and leader, and he wrote over half of the New Testament.

    Beloved, as we end another week and head into the weekend, I want you to know that your mistakes, your failures, your poor choices don’t have to keep you from your God-given destiny *PEOPLE WILL* but never God. God views things differently than people it’s not about the way you start out in life, it’s about the way you finish. Accept His grace today and welcome the positive future He has in store for you!!! Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace and mercy you’ve provided for me. I trust that you instruct my days. I ask that You reinforce and keep me encouraged so that I may continue to fulfill Your call on my life. I love You, and I’m always thankful that today I no longer do the immoral things I use to do nor listen to the pessimistic people that I use to surround myself. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️

    Have a Gorgeous Friday and a Cautious and Wise Weekend, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊

  • “I Can Do All Things”

    1 6 2020 Philippians 4 13.png
    Praise the Lord Everyone!!! 😀 

    In our verse this morning it tells us about Apostle Paul’s testimony to the Philippian believers. The phrase “all things” is a very bold two words. What Apostle Paul means is He can do everything that God wants him to do because Christ will reinforce him. He used the word strengthen because according to the context of this verse, Paul was talking about his day to day needs. So even if his food supply diminished or he’s having a hardship, he’s confident that Christ will reinforce him to do the assignment God commissioned him to do. This is a reminder to us that we shouldn’t let fatigue and pessimism impede our service to God.

    Beloved, Jesus Christ will be there to strengthen us not only in times of deprivation but also in times of apathy and disappointment. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Lord, thank You for constantly being there to reinforce me. During challenging and excruciating positions in my life, You’re always there to pull me up and keep me going. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen and Amen. ✝️❤️😊

    Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will enter our earthly room and blow out our candle. So, reach out and touch the ones that need your agape, dissolve the divisions among you, continue to encourage one another, be united in the same mind, the same reasoning and continue to build one another up.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a wonderful Monday and a wonderful week. ✝️❤️😊
